What is a Guardian Home?
The Guardian Home Program allows us to grow our program and continue to better our breeds, without sacrificing any of our dogs happiness and need for love and attention. While we want to keep all of our dogs with us, we understand that they will be happier with more one on one attention. As a guardian home, you are the permanent home for one of our breeding dogs while they are in our program. Once they are retired (and spayed/neutered at our expense), full ownership transfers to the guardian family and they get to keep the dog forever. Becoming a Guardian Home gives you the opportunity to have one of our puppies or young adults as a family pet while he or she remains in our program for only a small one time start up fee!
Guardian homes are responsible for day-to-day costs such as feeding, grooming, routine vet visits, etc. All breeding-related costs are covered by us. Males will be required to come to us for a few days when they are needed to breed. Females will need to be left with us for up to 5 days while in heat, 1-2 weeks prior to delivering, and for 4-6 weeks once she has a litter. (Of course you are more than welcome to visit, which we highly recommend.)
